I cut the ends off of a thick piece of red cedar to make a mantle. They are about 12-14" long and 6 inches thick. I checked into shipping cost and it is too high, but if anyone is in North Florida area they are free to a good home. Hate to waste them, but I have no use for them at this time. If someone is interested I can post a pic to see if you would want them or not. I am near Tallahassee.
